Lead Product Forward Deployed Engineer FSI Signals - Innovation_Delivery_Transformation

The Team

The Innovation & Delivery Transformation (I&DT) team is building the future of Deloitte's business through new AI-native platforms and products. The team is responsible for identifying, nurturing, scaling, and winning in new markets through new capabilities. Rather than relying on what the firm has historically done, I&DT looks ahead and invests in areas where growth is expected three, five, and ten years into the future.

Are you looking for a unique opportunity with both start-up spirit AND enterprise strength? Deloitte's Converge for FSI business offers both! We are looking for a talented individual with an innovative mindset to join the Converge for FSI team in our mission to develop differentiated financial services products that achieve product-market fit. This is a great opportunity to be on the front lines of Deloitte's innovation & product strategy while staying close to industry/sector priorities.

Are you energized by both winning the deal and delivering on it? As a Product Forward Deployed Engineer (pFDE), you'll be the GTM & Delivery engine for Signals, a priority product in the Converge for FSI portfolio. Signals is a proprietary set of data assets coupled with AI, data science, and statistical models that help our clients drive business growth and power decisions in a dynamic and changing market.

You'll bring core consulting skills, financial services industry knowledge, and the ability to work with key stakeholders (product managers, technical / engineering teams, and Market Makers) to qualify product fit, pitch / demo products to clients, shape & commercialize opportunities, and deliver work by managing scope, timeline, and client outcomes. You'll be expected to be equally comfortable pitching and demoing to a C-suite leader as you are working with product / engineering teams to deliver on a proof of concept.

Recruiting for this role ends on 9/18/26.

As a Product Forward Deployed Engineer, you will split your time between winning new product business and delivering on it once sold.

Pre-Sale:

• Build and maintain relationships with market makers, buyer decision-makers, and Deloitte account teams to identify and shape product opportunities
• Prepare and deliver pitches and product demos to client executives (including C-suite), translating Signals for FSI product value into a clear business case
• Develop go-to-market materials - pitch decks, demo scripts, one-pagers, case studies - that Sales and Product teams can reuse across engagements

Post-Sale:

• Lead delivery of scoped proofs of concept (POCs) and in-market testing, working hands-in-hand with engineering and data science teams to deliver the product to the client to drive outcomes for their business
• Serve as the client's primary point of contact post-sale, managing scope, timeline, and outcomes, and escalating/resolving issues that put delivery at risk
• Translate client requirements and product gaps back to Product Managers to inform the product feature backlog, distinguishing custom delivery needs from core product enhancements
• Build, maintain, and scale reusable delivery assets, demo patterns, and implementation playbooks that accelerate the sales and deployment cycle for future engagements
• Provide a continuous feedback loop between clients and the product team, and support knowledge transfer to delivery teams
• Operate within defined engagement guardrails - scoped, time-boxed, and outcome-oriented - to protect capacity and ensure clean handoffs at the end of each deployment/delivery

• Ability to deliver work within scope / timelines and take an "outcomes" mindset to ensure client receives maximum value
